Hello, my name is lambrosgg. I came here to ask a question about the Mod Dwarf I ordered and waiting to arrive soon. Please donāt torture me further by forcing me to make non-sense posts like this, that no one cares, just to be able to post my question. I donāt feel āincludedā or āpart of a communityā by doing this, I feel like an idiot.
Whatās the purpose of having a support forum when you canāt post your question immediately?
Guess what, thatās when people create an account on any new forum: They have a question.
If the concern is bots, there should be a captcha at the sign up process.
I hope after āintroducing myselfā (for no reason) I will be able to ask my question about using your product.
Thanks!

Hello @lambrosgg,
I am very happy to welcome you here in the mod devices forum.
Sorry for the inconvenience, now I raised your trust level so that you can post your own topics.
Thanks for telling us something about you, we all are humans after all and getting to know something about fellow mod users is just natural.
Feel free to ask, but maybe someone has asked beforeā¦use the magnifying glass for searching.
Just another thing, there are no dumb questions, and we all are learning something every day.
Greetings and God bless, Marius

Thanks for the fast reply and elevating my account. I didnāt really introduce myself, I posted a complain about having to do an introduction on a support forum. Part of the complain was that no one cares about my introduction and the fact that you āthanked me for telling you something about myselfā proves my point: You didnāt read it yourself and NO ONE cares about myself on a support forum and thatās ok!.
Donāt try to make us feel included or part of a community by forcing us to do that introduction, or anything for that matter. Make me feel included by letting me post my question immediately: People make accounts on forums when they want to post a question and there should NOT be any requirements to be able to do it!
However, since this is your site and you make the rules, if you want to have requirements, they need to be stated somewhere obvious, so I know what I have to do in order to be able to post a question.
Donāt waste my time making me look around the site on what I have to do to be able to participate, donāt waste your time having to personally activate my account and type a reply, donāt waste other peopleās time on the post I had to hijack because you basically forced me so.
I was SO excited when I saw this forum exists and scrolled through the so many interesting posts, it was one of the reasons I ordered a Mod Dwarf. You can imagine how I felt when I was unable to post even after I went through all the trouble of the āintroductionā and talking to a literal bot with PMsā¦
Thanks again, I hope the forum becomes more welcoming for future new members.

Hey mate, pretty sure this forum platform is relatively stock, and itās the default programming.
Itās largely to make sure new users are familiarized with how the site functions, and itās layout.
Beside the point, welcome to the forums.
I initially read your introduction and was a little taken aback by the tone and irritation and decided not to engage with the post as I usually would.
I hope that now your issue has been rectified, you have a better experience interacting with the overall community.
Hope all is well, and Iām excited to see what you do with your dwarf when it arrives.

Hi lambrosgg.
Actually many of us read it and we all learnt a lot about you as a result. We learned that you donāt like how this forum is configured and in fact you were so irritated by its new user limits that you let yourself be entirely antisocial.
Personally, I like coming to this forum and reading peopleās introductions. Maybe Iām weird.

Hi
Iām a Trumpet player, currently testing if I can use the Mod Dwarf for my live setup.
- Clean Wireless Clip Mic setup
- FX setup: Mic into Daccappo Reamp into Mod Dwarf ā¦
Letās find out how well it performs.
Goals is to leave my analog gear at home (or send back the dwarfā¦

Welcome! Youāre the first brass player I recall coming to the site Iām a former euphonium player. Iām wondering how some of the audio-to-midi plugins might work in your use case.
3 Likes
Hey, thanks!
Euphonium! Nice 
You know what, that is exactly what I am wondering too.
Simple Boards with Delay, Verb, Wah, Phasing etc etc are cool BUT
What options do I have for using Midi synths with my Horn?
Which Plugins allow me to convert Audio into Midi - I avenāt found them!
I also made a new thread in āusing Mod Devicesā about this exact topic.

Hi Vale!
Welcome to the MOD fam!
I sincerely hope your unit works out for you.
In terms of the synths on the platform, sequencing is probably the way to go at the current moment.
The audio to midi plugin is not available, as it is rather complex to develop as I understand it.
There is an audio to CV converter, but I donāt believe it will work for your needs in the manner that you are seeking.
Iām not sure of you use a DAW or not, but you can use a vst plugin in the daw and send the midi out to the dwarf over USB most likely.
https://www.widisoft.com/english/widi-audio-to-midi-vst.html
I just snagged a MacBook pro yesterday, and am working on learning how to use a daw currently. Iām sequencer/synth based, but I agree that the plugin you want is desperately needed on the platform at some point.

Hi and welcome !
As Elk_wrath said audio to midi is not yet possible, but audio to CV is ! Here are some pedalboards you can try :

Hey
Thanks for your replies.
Yes, I am very familiar with Pro Tools and Ableton but my goal is definitely NOT to have a Laptop on stage.
Iāve seen these synth pedalboards you are referring to @Rom , but modular is so complex and I am not as interested in programming my own synths
Also, its hard to combine them with other plugins in one board as they already eat a lot of cpu by themselves.
Then itās something for the future.
I would definitely put this into the List of requests!
Thank you

Iām sorry to learn about your bad first experience here @lambrosgg.
Unfortunately that is not so linear. Besides bots you have spammers. You probably already notice it in lots of places (Social Media is probably the most common) where people create accounts, get themselves in groups and use each single typing area to promote some sort of product that they have to sell. This is quite common. This particular forum has a system to prevent that (and bots indeed) and this system has been keeping the forum mostly clean. Even with that sometimes some things manage to pass through.
Anyway, we are quite different here, I would say. We are even open for people to promote their music or their gigs (check #random sub-categories for example), as long as their participation here is a bit more than using the forum as a billboard.
I hope you understand.
For you or any new user-facing similar issue, you can always drop me a DM or to any other team member or MODerator and we will raise manually your trust levels asap.
Please donāt take me wrong here, butā¦
This forum is not only a āsupport forumā but a user forum. Thereās indeed some support going on here, but also feature requests, tips, feedback, projects connected with the devices and - as I stated above - even a bit of self-promotion that we donāt see with bad eyes.
I must agree with you here. I was taking a fresh look just now and somehow the first usage is not well documented. Something to be fixed. Thanks for the feedback.
Regardless of everything, welcome here! It would be super nice to learn what music do you do and what are your plans for the MOD Dwarf. Again, feel always free to drop me a DM if something doesnāt fit here, you have some doubts or you canāt do something or simply if you wish to talk about something in a close environment with someone from the team.

Welcome here @Vale
I must say that Iām super surprised with the amount of people that uses the MOD devices in kind of unconventional ways, meaning here with instruments that (at least for me) are not really expected to be used.
I would be super interested on watching some videos of your setup and how you use it. No need to be something extremely profession, just to find what you get and somehow get inspired
I hope the Dwarf stays 
Let me know if you need some help with setup, etc.

Hi! Welcome! Iāve been using the āalready made synth pedalboardsā on both drums and hand pans. Itās great fun right out of the box, and itās not at all difficult to adjust eq to fit your instruments or to change the synths sound. And there are great detailed tutorials on how the CV pedalboards are built up. Enjoy!

Hello!
Rene here, I am a singer songwriter from Seattle, WA.
I love guitars, and want to keep re-inventing the sound of my guitar.
Glad to have found this heavenly forum!!!

Then I am too.
All forums I participate have a section for introductions. Itās good to see why people are there, share workflows, goals, wishes, and ideas. But someone above feels tortured, so letās not impose any more pain on that person.
BTW, all forums I participate have restrictions for new users. In most cases itās not possible to post a new thread upfront. I must contact a moderator or wait a period of time. One forum years ago got hacked and spammed big time, and a lot of knowledge went to waste. So these protections are needed. I too was not able to post a new topic and asked politely for it, instead of throwing a fit.
Welcome @Vale, @ameeva and @ReneAsologuitar
That must be a rarity here, please post back your findings.
